Psalms118:9

9 It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in princes .

The neighbouring and Heathen nations, Philistins, Syrians, Ammonites, Moabites, &c. who were stirred up partly by the overthrows which David had given some of them; partly by their jealousie at Davids growing greatness and fear for themselves; and partly by their hatred against the true Religion.
